Find PHP Version

This article provides details on how you can tell what version of PHP your server is running through cPanel or through SSH.

cPanel

1) Log into your cPanel.

2) Expand the tab to the left by clicking on it if it's not already expanded.

3) Look for 'PHP Version' under the 'Stats' tab. Your server's current PHP version is provided there.

SSH

1) Log into your server via SSH as root.

2) Type the following command to find the PHP version:

php -v

You should see output similar to:
